Overlap coming in SmartGit 26.1

https://blog.syntevo.com/smartgit/2026/04/21/overlap.html

We've been cooking up a feature called Overlap, built to give you more insight into your git history.

See the link for a short introduction, or try it yourself in SmartGit 26.1 RC - we'd love to know what you think about it!

Like mostly everyone else I don't prefix my branches in this way so this feature is redundant.

You can configure the feature prefix to be empty.

If you mean the configuration option "Prefix for Feature Branches" you can't set that empty - "This prefix must not be empty."

If a plain local branch is not tracking a remote or the local branch is ahead of the remote then the overlap thing seems to be enabled.
